He promises fidelity of sound (but only if you can't tell when the sound is being coloured by harmonic distortion).

That newfangled digital technology seems promising......

Well... I have to tell you that I am a vinyl enthusiast too, but , I don't think vinyl sounds better than CD - it just sounds different .
Maybe it's because that its dynamic range is considerably smaller than CD that voices are produced so magically and instruments sound lifelike, and maybe it's because of its higher background distortion and noise that makes detail more audible ( this is no joke ).

I agree that there are many downsides to vinyl, but every time I get enchanted by a record's sound all those downsides are forgotten :600smile: .
